Max, What I was trying to ask was: You're using a constant for a task instance ID. Where did it come from? What relationship does it have to the process instance you just created? Or is this another instance of "I do something like this" where you don't really use 1L at all? "What the L is 1L? " was a poor attempt at humor. -Ed Staub View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4051312#...
